Great is there any chance on getting a copy ?

Hi Matt

Any success with this driver yet ?
No really phased with 2 way but would be fine just for basic control as opposed to using IR ?

        I don't want to turn this post into a debate over the 2 but I believe the market where RTI is pointed towards is not at DIY it is towards integrators that are after a whole solution and MyMovies is a server client based media solution that handles burning and integrates movies and TV Shows perfectly into Media center interface and lets not forget the driver is for media center and if it can not be integrated into the current movie setup in Media center then I think MyMovies is much more likely and currently is being used on more integrated systems as a very client based easy to use system which is what MediaBrowser is not ?

The feedback from customers as this is how I am trying to see all this is that they want a solution that will burn DVD and bluray and auto lookup metadata etc and appear in media center and MyMovies will do all this and act as a standalone burner etc that will import into the standard media center movies section which if Matt can get the standard movies going will still be able to be used but if he cannot then it can be explored further with MyMovies integration.

I just believe the market for these drivers are to integrators and I would not install MediaBrowser on a customers computer as it requires to much user interaction and offers no burning features.

Sorry for the long winded post but Matt I know your time is valuable so it is just my feedback as an integrator to advise as to what I believe is a solution that you will be able to sell a lot.

If it helps as I am sure you have probably seen is www.vidabox.com their system is only sold to integrators and uses the MyMovies platform as the base for all movie, TV Shows and Music management and I think they were also at Cedia last year in Australia ?

For the movies I would be looking into mymovies as it is a lot more open to control as you would be getting the movie info from there server and clients rather than media center ? Also it is the most widely used software for movies on media center as it is a all in one solution and if you wanted to be adventurous you may be even able to include the DVD copy feature they have that runs within media center also but now I am asking the impossible (I can dream cant I !!)

Great to hear !!

Let me know if I can help test as I am running 2 media centers running Win7 and mymovies with about 100GB of music and 900 movies and XP8, 2 iPads and a T2C at my home ??

The main server media center has 2 dual tuner cards in it totalling 4 tuners so should be a great test when you get to that stage ?
 I am more interested in when you get to the movies and recorded TV as I use squeezebox Duet for music because of access to Rhapsody etc.

Love your work Matt!!

I noticed on the first screen it had Movies and TV is there a chance this could work with recorded TV etc and have you got anything working regarding the movies ?

Autonomic seem to have it working with recorded TV and movies etc but is it as easy to perform the same tasks without using their software as it is quite pricey !

I second the mymovies plugin or media browser also but I do agree I want a rock solid control setup before I want to start testing with my movies ! But I think you will find if you use the my movies collection management software for windows home server that rips movies and music and don't use the media centre version the info goes straight into the standard movies for media centre section ?

Hi Matt
Could you send it again as I had forgot to update my current email address but has been updated now ? Also no worries in relation to customers as I want to completely test it also before I even open my mouth !!

Hey guys

Any chance on finding out where I can download the beta as I have ended up coming back to media center over xbmc as i really need something that works with RTI with 2way and movie control an recorded TV would be great as I am currently opening up Remote Potatos web interface from within RTi to have guide and recorded TV control works alright but can't do movies ?

Sorry Matt,

It is probably my limited understanding it as I am a controls systems programmer but I do not understand the behind the scenes as well as you gurus that actually write the plugins we use.

So as I understand it the new xbmc 11 (Eden) which is not out yet is quite different to the current xbmc is that right, and if you write it for Eden it will not work for current xbmc, boxee and Plex etc ?

As I already use apps such as Xbmc Commander www.xbmc-commander.com and Xbmc Constellation http://fss.cc/constellation and Xbmc constellation says it supports both xbmc and the the Eden 11 so that is why I was confused.

Sorry wrong link to openelec it's www.openelec.tv

Hey Matt

I understand also but I am an integrator and because of the ever dropping profit margins on systems these days we are looking at more cheaper ways to provide solutions that can still be somewhat customized. Xbmc has always interested me and as i have always been open to all media solutions that i have tried and tested and I always seem to come back to it. Most of all the solutions still either use xbmc or like interface I believe the interest in Boxee is just not there as it is a plug and play type solution that anybody can buy and connect. I have been looking into and testing openelec www.openelec.com and even the newer Xtreamer has xbmc on flash etc.
In all discussions I have had I think you would have a lot bigger following with xbmc users than the boxee group.

Still waiting in anticipation for plugin ?

Hey Cameron
What was meant by your post ?

Hi Matt

Any more progress on the plugin yet ?
